Dear Gunther, (01)
The terms of use of the UCUM given on its web-page prevent discussion of its
technical content for the purpose of developing another standard. The
purpose of this forum is the development of another standard. (02)
You say:
>There should be debates on content. Then, if that debate on content
>brings forth a motivation, there will be an agreement on the
>legalese. But there will not be a debate on UCUM's legalese here. (03)
Are you giving us permission to discuss the technical content in this forum?
It is something that I would like to do. (04)
Best regards,
David (05)
